Dying for a Home.

Twice within q brief period young
women III this city have committed sui
eide on account of the utter loneliness
| of their lives. One was n young wo-
man who came from the country, and
| whose husband was obliged by his Occu-
patton to be absent all day and nearly
all the evening. Inconsistencies was
stronger than love, and the isolated girl
wife, stranger i'll great city, took
her own life. On a recent Cay Lily
Schwabach, a wife but Il month married,
look fatal dose of poison, leaving a let
ter protesting love for her husband, but
saying: Il asked you for home, and
you have said that home is the only
thing that you cannot give me.
As matter of prudence it would be
well for all young women who are asked
i'll marriage to ascertain precisely what
| the circumstances and conditions of theii
| life Will be before taking the irrevocable
step. Had the young woman last men
toned done this she would have learned
that she was expected to live downtown
| i'll apartments over her husbands store.
If the prospect did not satisfy her she
! could have declined the offer. Her
pathetic letter, however, stating that she
| could not live SO, and that her "Only
refuge is i'll death, " affords another illus
| tratiOn of the terrible isolation to which
| many wives are subjected.
The incident may well serve as a re-
minder to husbands to share as much as
possible and to relieve in all reasonable
ways the lot of wife thus separated
from her family and friends. The man
who goes out to his work and labOrs
with companions or encounters multi
tudes of people, is too apt to forget how
differently the day must pass to the
helpmate confined to an apartment or
shut up III two on three rooms. The
cry of womans heart for home
which means to her Il place in which to
make hOme-is one to which man
worthy of Il true wife will never turn a
deaf ear. If he cannot give her home
equal to her desires, he Will at least not
neglect her in the quarters that are the
best he can provide y. Y. World.

The EHiLadctphi0 Cdii says:
ga mother overheard her nurse girl
talking to the little child she was put
ting to sleep and among other legends
Of the nusery in which she was INDUCED
was this: If You don't go right to sleep
this minute. great, big, awful black
bear, with eyes like Goals of fire, and
sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come out
from under the bed and e-a-t-y-o-u-all-
up! The poor little thing nestled down
under the clothes to dream of horrid
bears eating her up.

had composed herself in her own com

There's a burglar under your bed" At
the word ''burglur," the girl sprang
screaming from the bed, tore open the
door and fell into Mysteries in the hall.
The lesson was more instructive than the
mistress designed but when the girls
fears had claimed she said to her: You
did not hesitate to tell my little delicate
child, who could not possibly know
that it was lie, II cruel story of a
bear under her bed Now, when |
treat you to the same kind of story, you
are nealry frightened to death. To-mor-
row you can go into the. kitchen and
work there; you are not fit to care

NINA VAN ZANDT AGAIN.
Still infatuated, Handsome and
EiVaciOuS

Assistant Principal Prof. WILDER +.
Bliss of the high school, Beaver, Pa,
who has lust returned from brief visit
to Chicago, called at the Van Zandt
mansion while there upon invitation of
Mr.. Van Zandt, whom he knew, and
gives the following account of Mrs. Nina
Van Zandt Spies, whose notoriety is
world famed:
'EMrs. Spies, as she prefers to be
called, is not, as some of the reports
concerning her have lately said, care
worn, detected, and consumptive look
ing, but is robust, vivacious, and healthy
in appearance. As she converses, she
has an imperious way of tapping the
carpet with her shapely foot and en-
phasizing her remarks with gesture
which seems to say: Il believe what ]
say whether you do or not. After she
| had welcomed us she bowed us into the
parlor, and, taking her seat upon the
piano stool she motiOned us to easy
chairs on either side. 1t was !. IuxUrl-
antly furnished apartment, and i'll the
window hung a fine portrait of August
Spies, while on the centre table rested
another. When the commonplace
topics of conversation had been ex-
hausted, Mrs. Spies said, as she took
the portrait from the table and handed
it to one of us, Isn't that fine looking
man"
''She then talked in n free-and-easy
manner about the comedy, as she
termed Spies trial She told us of her
acquaintance with him and of their
marriage. She spoke very kindly of the
Sheriff, and said that he allowed her to
go and see Spies until public clamor
forbade it. 1t was only temporary
stop, however, for as soon as the excite
ment subsidized she was again admitted
to the jail and now visits her husband
as she fondly calls him, daily. She
says no other ceremony has been per-
formed save the marriage by proxy.
''Of the reports concerning her do
nestle and private life which have
found their way into print, the lady eX-
pressed complete disgust, and said that
not one article in a hundred had
grain of truth among barrels of chaff.
No reporters were admitted, and what
ever was written was either cleaned
from gossipy neighbors or manufactured
by the reporters themselves.
"She receives an enormous amount
Of mail matter every day, consisting of
letters, papers, and circulars on social
istic matters. They come from all parts
of the world. Letters addressed to
Miss Van Zandt, United States, reach
her, and one addressed to Miss Van
Zandt, North America, come to her
through the mail.
